A letter to my friends.

Dear friends,

I wanted to thank you all for your support, advice and humor over the last seven weeks or so. Losing my job has been the most difficult time in my life so far and without you all, it would have been much, much worse. I have enjoyed catching up with people I haven’t seen in a while and spending much more time with my close friends over lunches, dinners and drinks. Sometimes, lots of drinks.

That stops on Sunday, March 27. I am officially cutting myself off from going out and spending so much money on food and drinks (and mindless shopping just to kill time, but that is a whole other issue…). I have to seriously start watching how much I spend each week so I am putting myself on a budget. Money doesn’t grow on the tree of an unemployed PR professional, ya know.

So until I land a new job, which I am hoping will be very, very soon, we will have to do things that cost little or no money. I am still up for the occasional lunch or happy hour, occasional being the keyword.

Thank you in advance for your understanding. And when I get a job, we will celebrate like crazy with dinner and drinks. You can count on that.

Love you all. Happy saving.

Tracy
